A VIVID WORKHORSE

The low-cost color inkjet printers I wrote about last week (Sept. 23) are great for light- to medium-duty use. But if your business or office work group needs color from a networked workhorse, consider the new Phaser 350 from Tektronix (800 735-9433). With prices starting around $3,500, the five-page-per-minute Phaser 350 is about half the cost of a color laser. Tektronix claims the crayonlike solid ink it uses also costs about half as much per page as lasers' toners and developers. The Phaser 350 is designed to work with Windows, Macs, or Unix.
